Excerpt

Asko Parpola in an essay on human sacrifice quotes the approximate date of the Vajasaneyi Samhita as around 700 BCE and according to him it is distanced from the Rig Veda later by about 500 years (Bremmer, 2007: 158). Therefore one cannot be certain of things said in the ancient books; they could be based on hearsays or on traditional knowledge handed down by ancestors or purely of imaginary accounts but certainly based not on first-hand knowledge. If it were the information handed down by ancestors then it could be of a description on the Haraxaiti of Afghanistan as suggested by Hock. We are not sure of it; however the fact that the poets had gone wild with imagination is beyond doubt. Prof. Irfan Habib lists the five rivers that join the Helmond strengthening the suggestion of Hock as found in Vajasaneyi Samhita: the Rasa, Kubha, Swastu, Krumu and Gomal (Habib, 2003: 3). When Sarasvati is associated with seven rivers as sapta svasa, `with seven sisters` (RV 6.61.10 /12), it seems that it also does not fit with the Sarasvati river of India but matches well with the seven rivers of the Avesta listed in the text of Yast (19.66-69) namely Xastra, Hvaspa, Fradada, Haraxaiti, Ustavaiti, Urva, Erezi and Zarenumati, totaling eight legitimizing the epithet, sapta svasa, with seven sisters. But in the nadistuti, Sarasvati is clubbed with nine other rivers (RV 10.75.5).

It is not me who is posting contradictory posts. It is the ancient Hindu texts which make contradictory claims. Most Hindu texts state different things about mythical Saraswati. The scientific studies clearly indicate that Ghaggar was a small stream during the era of Harappan settlements along Ghaggar and that these settlements were not dependent on the water of Ghaggar.

The Hindu texts, the scientific studies are clear in their judgment that the Indus Valley Civilisation was never a Saraswati civilisation.

It is only the Hindutva laden extremist Hindus of your country who are propagating a false premise and they have been repeatedly proven wrong. However, when your government wants to proclaim a wrong claim, the Hindu texts, the scientific studies, the historians, the archeologists, the writers can not but highlight facts and can not fight a state driven paranoid propaganda.

Where this guy enorkumar quotes "Witzel remarks it was not so and gives the meaning splitting the word as sam and udra, water in a jar, small pool, large lake, etc. He also cites the Rig Vedic hymn addressed to Indra-Soma (6.72.3)"

Comments - "This guy, enorkumar doesn't know that "Udra" means only "water" not "Water in jar" as Witzel manipulatively puts as per this guy enorkumar.

Not having self analytical abilities is a major concern here when there are many village bumpkins on the job around, who keeps picking and quoting from such naive/knave blog posts.

And why should I believe you. What are your qualifications when you challenge some of the best such names related to the subject. And what about different Hindu texts stating different things about mythical river Saraswati. Are you suggesting that the refered Ancient Hindu texts are wrong?
